. The young man's name is Mei Yi. He is a casual cultivator from three generations of his family. He has been alone since he was young. He relies on the teachings of his grandfather and father to survive in the spiritual world. He stays away from right and wrong and is kind to others. But deep down in her heart, Mei Yi disagreed, so when she heard that fellow cultivators were gathering here, she followed them to Tianhai Lake to join in the fun.
The Shanhe Gang was founded by casual cultivators, so it is quite easy for casual cultivators to join this sect. Otherwise, as a casual cultivator, he would not be considered innocent in a serious sect. Without a senior who appreciates him as a guarantor, he would never be able to do so for the rest of his life. You can't enter those sects.
He has always regarded joining the Shanhe Gang as his life goal, but now he has some regrets.
As his father said, the world of monks is cruel, but he has lived according to his father's teachings so far, and he can be considered safe. He has not been used to life and death, so he cannot adapt to the current way of doing things in the Cultivation Alliance.
Fortunately, he met a mysterious killer who told him to leave the place of trouble before the assassination. That killer could kill Commander Jiang in the blink of an eye. He must be a top master in the Xuan Realm. If he could be his disciple, he would definitely be able to learn advanced skills.
So Mei Yi did not leave directly. He wanted to wait here for the killer to complete his mission and learn the skills from his master. Unfortunately, his strength is too weak, and it is difficult to save his life without being separated from the team of low-level casual cultivators.
Nowadays, the safest place and identity in the entire Tianhai Lake is probably that of a government servant.
Shanhe Gang and Tianyu Guan are both serious cultivating sects. They will not blatantly kill people in the government. Moreover, the two sides are at war at this time, so they have no time to pay attention to the things in the workshop.
Unfortunately, God is not as good as man, and his plan was ruined by three people who suddenly broke in.
"It's over, it's over. When they go in, they will definitely find that I am not a real servant." Mei Yi, wearing the coat of a workshop servant, was spinning around anxiously. But the current situation did not allow him to hesitate. The Shanhe Gang outside was about to come in.
"The people inside are being hunted. I don't think they will report me, but if the people from the Shanhe Gang know that I am pretending, they will definitely not spare my life."
Just as Mei Yi made up her mind, two foundation-building monks from the Shanhe Gang had already walked into the back room.
"We've been shouting for a long time, didn't you hear?"
The arrogant look of the visitor is really annoying, but Mei Yi is now playing the role of an ordinary person. Even if he is a servant of the government, he does not dare to talk back and just nods with a low eyebrow.
The two monks didn't have time to make things difficult for an ordinary person, so they went straight to the point and asked: "Have you seen any worthy people passing by here, such as Taoist priests or something."
Mei Yi shook her head like a rattle, "I've been cleaning the workshop and didn't see anything. If you want to find Taoist priests, they came here during the day yesterday."
"Yesterday? You didn't do anything yesterday. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with a mortal like you. Let's go!"
The two monks scanned the layout left and right, and left without finding anything unusual.
Mei Yi sent the two of them away and exhaled heavily.
"I finally got through it. I need to talk to those three people."
Little did he know that the two Shanhe Gang monks outside the door did not leave directly. With a gesture of his hand, more than a dozen monks walked out of the mountain forest, led by a Xuanjing monk.
"Commander Li, look!"
The monk waiting at the door took out the feather in his arms. This was the tracking instrument that Commander Li gave them when they entered. It was emitting light at the moment, and the roots of the feathers pointed directly into the workshop.
"Haha, that guy Ling Qing is indeed here. We brothers should take the credit for this." Commander Li pressed his hands down and said: "He has the means to kill Xuanjing. Let's not alert them and slowly get in." .”
…
Mei Yi gathered her mood and returned to the warehouse in the workshop.
Seeing that the three people in the room did not come out to expose his evil deeds, he concluded that what he thought was true, so he mustered up the courage and pushed the door open.
As soon as he entered the door, a Qingfeng Sword was placed in front of his throat.
"Who are you? You're pretending to be a police officer. What do you want to do?"
Mei Yi quickly raised her hands and saw the beautiful Taoist priest sister, and said with a smile: "Come in here to save your life."
"That's true. Apart from you, I don't think there is any force hiding in the workshop." You Ziji sat on the wooden box and looked at Mei Yi condescendingly. However, judging from his appearance, he was too young, and Mei Yi was not. Not afraid of him, he retorted: "Didn't you come here too?"
"Say what I asked you. Don't talk nonsense at other times." Lingyue handed the sword forward. Mei Yi felt the chill on the sword's edge and quickly shut her mouth.
"Brother You is right. You are neither from Tianyu Temple nor from the Shanhe Gang. Are you a monk who was threatened by the Shanhe Gang and want to escape?"
"Sister Taoist priest is absolutely right." Mei Yi had a flattering expression on her face.
You Ziji, on the other hand, sneered and said, "Then why are you joining forces with the Shanhe Gang to besiege us?"
"You're such a slanderous kid!" Mei Yi really didn't expect that You Ziji would use such a clumsy method of frame-up.
Lingyue raised the sword spine, struck Mei Yi on the head, and said: "It seems that this fool is not from the Shanhe Gang."
When Mei Yi heard this, she was stunned. Then she came to her senses and asked Lingyue, who was sheathing her sword, "The two people just discovered you and went out to call for help?"
"You are absolutely right." You Ziji replied in Mei Yi's words.
"It's all my fault that you left your tail when you came in here. We can't stay here anymore. There is a secret passage in the room next to me. I will go out from there later. If you are willing to follow, then go out together and arrive outside the workshop. , we can go our separate ways and have nothing to do with each other.”
You Ziji shook his head, "They have completely surrounded us. If we go out now, we will be discovered. You'd better stay with us."
"You didn't go outside to look, how do you know?" Mei Yi was a little skeptical.
Lingyue said: "His ears are very good and he can hear the footsteps of people outside. Brother You, how many people are there in total outside?"
"There are thirteen people in total, including a Xuanjing monk."
Mei Yi became emotional when he heard this, "Since you can hear what's going on outside, why didn't you tell us earlier? You can't escape even if you want to. That's a master of the Xuan Realm."
You Ziji and Lingyue showed bitter expressions. They did not expect that the people from the Shanhe Gang would come so quickly, but at this moment they could only stick here.
You Ziji glanced at the cellar intersection and thought that Lingqing might have just entered the cultivation state and it would take some time, so he would delay it.
Seeing that Mei Yi was a little anxious, he encouraged him and said, "Don't worry, we also have a Xuanjing monk here, Taoist Priest Lingqing from Tianyu Temple, you must have heard of it."
Mei Yi's eyes showed hope, "Is he the monk who came with you? I never thought he was Taoist Master Lingqing. He is such a talented person." Then his eyes dimmed again, "It's a pity that you carried him all the way. He must have been seriously injured.”
"That's why we have to stay here and wait for his injury to be cured."
You Ziji's eyes were sharp, and he had already locked onto one of the monks as soon as he finished speaking. He pointed with his right hand, and a line of fire appeared out of thin air, directly through the two walls. The moment the monk climbed over the wall and landed, the line of fire happened to be wrapped around his neck. , with just one twist, the person's head was separated.
"stop!"
Commander Li outside the door suddenly stopped, and he felt a murderous aura pass away. At this moment, in his mind, Ling Qing was hiding in the dark in advance. He did not dare to be careless at all, so he ordered a close confidant beside him to go and investigate.
"Go and see if anyone has been attacked."
You Ziji heard their conversation clearly in the warehouse. The other party stopped moving except for the monks who came out to investigate. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Taoist Priest Lingyue, if the enemy comes to the door later, be sure not to take action. I will lure them away."
"Be careful." Lingyue nodded.
Mei Yi said to You Ziji: "Don't show off. We'll leave through the secret passage when we create an opportunity later."
You Ziji smiled and left the room.
He was very fast and went directly to the monk who had died earlier, waiting for the monks who came to investigate.
A moment later, the monk also climbed over the wall and came here. Without saying a word, You Ziji went up and covered the man's mouth and nose. The Samadhi True Fire suddenly ignited on You Ziji's body and swallowed the monk. In an instant, he became a monk. Became coke.
You Ziji did not hesitate and quickly changed his position.
Commander Li seemed to be aware of this and rushed here with the three remaining monks around him. Several Foundation Establishment monks saw cold sweat on their foreheads when they saw the two colleagues lying in miserable condition on the ground.
"Commander Li, Ling Qing is really powerful. He's attacking ghosts. We'd better retreat and block the door. They will come out sooner or later."
"Idiot, if they dig a tunnel out, how can we block it? Why don't you come with me to find it?"
Commander Li was naturally scared, but he didn't want to share the credit for capturing Ling Qing with others, and he was afraid that he would be ambushed alone, so he had no choice but to drag these monks along with him. Anyway, he wouldn't feel bad if a few died.
You Ziji was sneaking around, trying to stay away from Commander Li, but he met a Shanhe Gang monk at the corner. The monk shouted and was about to take action. You Ziji reacted faster than him, and punched the monk's mouth directly with his air-splitting palm, stuffing back the second half of his exclamation.
Then, the palm knife was attached with flames and cut off the monk's head.
This monk, like the two people before him, had no time to react and was killed by You Ziji before his protective means were used.
The Shanhe Gang monks in the distance all heard the exclamation, and Commander Li immediately rushed over with his men. His mind turned around and he shouted as he ran: "This man missed a sneak attack. It seems he is not a Xuanjing monk. Brothers, capture him quickly!"
Everyone in the gang heard that the enemy was just the Foundation-Building monks sneaking up on him in the dark. They were no longer afraid and surrounded You Ziji in a furious manner.
